QWORK 1000ml Separating Funnel with 24/29 Joints and PTFE Plug

Description

Product Overview

The QWORK 1000ml Separating Funnel is a precision‑engineered laboratory glassware item designed for the accurate separation of immiscible liquids. Constructed from high‑grade clear borosilicate glass, the funnel offers superior chemical resistance, thermal stability, and visual clarity, allowing users to monitor phase boundaries with confidence. The funnel features a standard 24 29 joint, compatible with a wide range of laboratory clamps and accessories, and a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) plug that provides a leak‑free seal even under pressure differentials. With a capacity of one litre, the device balances ample volume for bulk separations with a compact footprint that fits comfortably on most bench tops. The conical shape promotes efficient phase separation, while the graduated markings enable precise volume measurements. All dimensions adhere to industry standards, ensuring interchangeability with existing lab setups.

Usage

This separating funnel excels in a variety of laboratory and industrial environments. In academic chemistry labs, it is routinely employed for liquid‑liquid extractions, solvent recovery, and density‑based separations. In pharmaceutical research, the funnel assists in purifying reaction mixtures and isolating active compounds. Industrial applications include oil‑water separation, wastewater treatment pilot studies, and quality‑control sampling where precise phase division is critical. The PTFE plug’s chemical inertness makes the funnel suitable for aggressive solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, and various acids or bases. Users can safely operate the funnel under ambient temperature conditions, and the glass construction tolerates moderate heating for distillation pre‑treatments. The ergonomic design, featuring a comfortable handle and a smooth stopcock, facilitates controlled drainage and minimizes spillage, making it an ideal choice for both routine and specialized procedures.

FAQ

What types of liquids can I separate with this funnel?

The funnel is suitable for separating any immiscible liquid pairs, such as aqueous and organic phases, oil‑water mixtures, or solvent‑solvent systems. Its PTFE plug and glass construction tolerate a broad range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents.

How do I clean and maintain the PTFE plug?

After each use, rinse the funnel and plug with a compatible solvent (e.g., ethanol or distilled water) to remove residues. For stubborn deposits, gently scrub the plug with a soft brush. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the PTFE surface. Store the funnel in a dry environment to prevent moisture buildup.

Can the funnel be used under pressure?

The PTFE plug is designed to maintain a tight seal under moderate pressure differentials typical of liquid‑liquid extractions. However, it is not intended for high‑pressure applications such as pressurized reactors. Always follow safety guidelines and avoid exceeding the recommended operating conditions.

Is the funnel compatible with standard laboratory clamps?

Yes. The 24 29 joint conforms to common laboratory standards, allowing the funnel to be securely attached to most bench clamps, retort stands, and support brackets.

What warranty does QWORK provide for this product?
